How does towing work in The Loop & Near North?
Inside the city the hard part is rarely the tow. Six expressways converge here, the Kennedy, the Dan Ryan, the Eisenhower, the Stevenson, the Edens and the Bishop Ford, and on top of them runs a removal system most drivers only learn about the morning it happens to them: 107 miles of arterial where parking is banned from 3am to 7am between December 1 and April 1 whether or not it snows, plus a separate 500-mile ban that switches on once two inches are on the ground. The city also relocates vehicles rather than impounding them, sometimes with no signs posted at all, which is why the city itself tells people to call 311 before reporting a car stolen. Four auto pounds run 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Auto Pound 2 at 103rd and Doty Avenue is one of two city pounds that take abandoned vehicles.
The Loop, the Near North Side and the Near West Side make up the densest towing and relocation zone in the metro. Wacker Drive runs the river's edge through the whole district, Michigan Avenue and Lake Shore Drive carry the lakefront traffic, and the Kennedy and the Dan Ryan meet at the Jane Byrne Interchange on the west edge. What makes downtown different isn't volume, it's uncertainty. The city relocates vehicles to clear streets for agency work, and it says plainly that this can happen in an emergency with no opportunity to post signs. That means a downtown driver who walks back to an empty space genuinely doesn't know whether the car is at a pound or two blocks away, and the city's own advice is to call 311 before reporting it stolen. The Central Auto Pound is at 500 E Wacker Dr on the lower level and runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so for a lot of Loop calls the vehicle hasn't gone far. Street festivals, film shoots and utility work all add their own posted and unposted restrictions on top of ordinary enforcement. Grant Park, the New Eastside, River North and the river corridor are in this zone. Ask the assigned operator whether they'll send a wheel-lift or a flatbed for a pickup off Lake Shore Drive.
How much does towing cost in The Loop & Near North?
Every tow in The Loop & Near North is quoted before the truck rolls, and the number you hear on the phone is the number on the invoice. A wheel lift and a flatbed are different prices because they are different jobs. Confirm the method for all-wheel drive, electric vehicles, and anything low-clearance, damaged or non-rolling.
After-hours work is quoted on the call, not added at the drop. If what you need is a jump start or an unlock rather than a tow, we will tell you that instead.

What do The Loop & Near North residents ask about towing?
How soon can an operator arrive in The Loop & Near North?
It depends on where in The Loop & Near North you are and which operator is free, so nobody can honestly quote an arrival time before they know both. Farther addresses take more driving time. Ask the operator for a window when they take the job.
Do you have flatbeds for The Loop & Near North?
This brand owns no trucks. Tell us what you are driving and we line up an operator who can quote a flatbed when all-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, electric vehicles, or anything low-clearance, damaged or non-rolling needs all four wheels off the ground.
What about The Loop & Near North's winter parking bans and the difference between an impound and a relocation?

How much will a tow cost in The Loop & Near North?
You get a price before an operator is dispatched, and that price is the price. Heavy-duty, long-distance and specialty work, motorcycle, RV and exotic, are quoted separately. If what you actually need is a jump start or an unlock, we will say so instead of selling you a tow.
